On: Emotion (But mostly just anger.)
FEEEEEEELINGS, NOTHING MOORE THAN FEEEEEEEELINGS
Emotions are a damned good thing. But by damned I mean they will SCREW YOU UP. When you’re happy, all is good, and everyone else’s spirits seem to lift. When you’re sad, your friends will console you, and everything will go better than expected. When you’re excited, there’s a pump of adrenaline that really gets you feeling like pure AWESOME. But when you Rage…
People seem to think anger is a bad thing. It gets you into fights, which get you both injured, and in jail. I understand that those themselves are bad things, but those aren’t caused by anger. Anger is but a feeling you get when something goes horribly awry. Natural! It’s being a total freaking DICKHEAD that gets you into fights, etc., etc., and that’s a totally seperate matter.
I’m ranting on this for a reason. Recently, a woman spoke before the health class. I don’t recall her name, but the other kids called her “the special squares lady” So maybe you know who she is, apparently she tours America’s school or some crap. Most of her lessons were fine, but she denounced negative emotions. That bothered me. They’re emotions! There’s nothing wrong with them!
It’s not that nice to laugh and be happy at a funeral when your Aunt dies, but when does that happen? It doesn’t, really, unless that person is being a total dickhead. And we’ve already established that that’s where the real problem lies. But The “Special Squares” lady said you shouldn’t be angry. I’m not a Christian, but I would know if ANGER WAS SIIIIIN.
That’s all fine and dandy, you don’t WANT to be angry. Happiness and other emotions (Including boredom, though you may beg to differ) beat being angry. But that doesn’t mean it’s BAD. it’s a natural feeling.
I don’t recommend making friends with the kind of guy who beats his wife after work just because he was demoted. I wouldn’t want to be demoted either, but beating your wife/girlfriend? Where does that come in the agreement? I don’t recall it ever being there.
In the big contract that is F*CKING life, there are emotions and stress and those twenty pounds that you can never get rid of. It’s all natural. But taking the bad things out on other people, well that’s not emotions, that’s you being totally stupid.
Y’know, unless the person whom’s spouse beats him/her is a masochist. Then it’s okay… I guess. Still nasty, but it’s consensual so I don’t want to get into that mess.
I say: Go Eff yourself back to counselor school or wherever you went to learn crap. You’re a bad teacher.
Well, no, it was just the one part I disagreed with. XD
